The Collected Stories of Lydia Davis

"Remarkable. Some of the most moving fiction - on death, marriage, children - of recent years. To read "The Collected Stories" is to be reminded of the grand, echoing mind-chambers created by Sebald or recent Coetzee. A writer of vast intelligence and originality." ("Independent on Sunday"). Find out why fellow authors like Ali Smith, Dave Eggers and Jonathan Franzen love Lydia Davis' writing so much in this landmark collection of all of her stories to date from across three decades. And why James Wood described this book in 'The New Yorker' as 'a body of work probably unique in American writing' and 'one of the great, strange American literary contributions'.
